I ran into Muhammad Ali in Las Vegas in 1985. I was speechless and a friend that was with me asked him to sign my fight ticket. I hated to bother him. He was so nice and funny and very gracious. He is still the Greatest boxer of all time!

Muhammad Ali didnt take Dick Cavett seriously because he never took him seriously in their interviews Dick was always trying to get a laugh out of the crowd with Ali present and he wouldn't fall for the bait. Alot of these people still hated him for his stance against the Army and being an activist but he stuck by his guns and never pulled the trigger. Although I never agreed with how he treated Joe Frazier I definitely respect and admire the man and loved what he did for my people (African Americans) and for others in general...God bless his soul...sleep in eternal peace

Ali is a legend and even tho we appreciate what he did for black community and all people, i think we will never understand what he really went through while he was struggling with Wietnam lay off and injustice. Ali was one of the most entertaining athletes ever and really loved joking but look at him now. He's clearly depressed and sad. And even tho he says he doesn't think they wasted his talent i think he actually thinks they are wasting his talent, I mean who wouldn't? He was getting better and better each fight and was about to hit his prime and they took that away from him. But I don't think it's important cuz now he is bigger than any boxer or boxing itself and I'm sure he would do it all over again. He was a man of action, a man of peace, a man of charisma. Rest in great, great power champ. You earned that. You'll always be the greatest.

Even better if the interview was with Howard Cosell. Those guys were great together. I use to laugh my ass off when these to were together and didn't see color. In the 60s and early 70s they were just amazing. These two guys were a perfect example of tolarance and respect for one another without skin color and it's division being played out on the evening network news. I grew up in this time period and hated the division of black and white issues. I would find myself wishing that it would stop. I as a kid had many black friends and lost them over the state of the nation at that time. Parents took their positions and their children went out and just made things worst by adding salt to the wound. They were spreading ignorance, bigotry, hatred and intolerance that just fed the further division of Black and White today in America. Muhammed and Howard were two beautiful people.

@@chrisr7597 Thank you for your kind words. Still to this day and the past 4 years the division of the black and white race has once more raised its ugly head. Not at the same level as the 60s Civil Rights Movment but it does remind me of that period. Once more things such as the organization of Black Lives Matter creates a new level of descent and debacle. What for? Why can't we move past such division by means of respect and tolerance? Dr King would never approve of such measures. How soon do we forget the work of Dr. King? It seems everthing that Dr King taught us no longer applies. Looting a vandalism are not the way to respect Dr. Kings legacy and it's impact on society as a whole. I'm in my 60s now and I feel that old familiar feeling of sadness and despair. Once more skin color supersedes respect and caring for human beings as a whole.

Stoic. Maybe even a little sad. But not mad. But always awesome. Today’s society couldn’t deal with a young Muhammad Ali. Or the media/social media couldn’t. Very few today are able to recover from words they wish they hadn’t said. Or in Ali’s time his words about race changed as the times changed. All within a very short time period. Never BITTER. Even after the greatest sports title was stolen from him by the government just as his prime was beginning. He stayed true to his convictions. Too bad Parkinson’s ended boxing. His will power and athletic ability would have allowed for him to keep his title a few more years (yes even with a young Holmes).

Dick Cavett interviewed many rich and famous elite people over the years. Muhammad Ali was loved by ordinary people he had a connection with everyday people. I admired what he did for disability rights in his later years. He was a man of peace. I don't really like boxing as a sport but I see why Muhammad Ali was much loved beyond anything to do with boxing. I wonder if Dick Cavett ever interviewed ordinary everyday type people too? Muhammad Ali was rich and famous he had a privileged life in some ways but he wasn't from a privileged background. Living with Parkinson's disease is tough even though he could afford medical care and help in his later years.

he came across this way purposely in a few interviews in this during his exile from boxing. As you could see he would naturally lighten up occasionally, but Ali wasnt in the mindset to be playful and when asked by a few off the hosts, Cavett included, he would always say he used his tv time in those years to shine a light on the problems in america rather than go on and act like everything was rosy.

You could never tell whether he would take exception to a question and get all fired up, or whether he'd laugh. He'd tease us all with that element of danger.

I’ll be honest, I don’t think he cared much for the truth, he was hypocritical to a point a lot of the time.

Some interesting comments here, many seem to suggest that Ali didn't like/respect Dick Cavett, I disagree, I think you are seeing a conflicted Ali at the height of his Islam days trying to stick to his learned messages and yet it seems to me his natural propensity for fun and playful antics are willing themselves to come to the fore. I think he did like Cavett and it looks like there are a couple times when he is trying hard to conceal his smile/smirk in response to Dick's comments because it went against "his new purpose" according to his new overlords. Just my two cents, but what do I know?

@@snakejuce Ahhh, c'mon snake you can do better than that. A quick skim of your twitter tells me all I need to know about you and your motivations old son. It's a pity really, cos I tend to agree with you on a few things, especially in reference to the joos and the crackpot gender teaching in schools. So maybe take a bit of time in future before you reply in such shallow fashion to someone who obviously has a greater depth of understanding of this world than perhaps your teachings allow. Oh, and by the way, now I also know way more about you than you do me, so I'll add that to the list.......

Watching this makes me a bit sad. You can see Muhammad containing his laughter and intentionally presenting himself and stoic and angry. You can tell he actually loves all people and has been indoctrinated with hate by the black Muslims. When he transitioned away from hate based teachings to the more traditional sunni ideology, his personality and love for human beings returned.
